MARY CHARLES ACUFF (CHERNIN)

Married: Harry A. Chernin, June 25, 1950
Central Un. Meth Church, Ft Myers FL

Children: Leslie Gail Chernin married Ray Morreale - Ft 
Myers; Nancy Joyce Chernin married Joe Romstadt - Ft Myers; 
Betsy (Elizabeth Mary) Chernin married Roger Vereb N Ft 
Myers. 

What have you been doing since May 1947
After graduation I worked at Lee Co Bank, Zipperer Farms, 
and Life Ins of Georgia. Married Harry Chernin 6/25/50 (the 
day the Korean War started). We have three girls and three 
grandchildren. Our girls all returned to Ft Myers after 
college and work at Beachcomber Intl with us. I stayed home 
during the kids' school years, active in community, school, 
and Church. When the youngest went to college, I started 
traveling more with Harry, helping with work, and continuing 
to help with our aging parents. 

I am traveling 90 to 100 days a year on business, (the last 
five as the Christmas buyer for our company) enjoying 
spending as much time as possible with our grandchildren, 
and very active at the church where I have attended all my 
life. (I have been a Sunday School teacher for 42 years). 
With no retirement in the future, and many things I yet wish 
to accomplish, I anticipate having to live a long time to 
get it all done. I still take much pride and joy from living 
in Fort Myers, our class and friends, and feel after much 
travel, this is still the best place to be...  (April 1997)


JOHN C (CHESTER) ANDREWS [DECEASED]
2669 Gracie Drive, Deland FL, 32724
Email: usamarine@totcon.com

Married: to former Josephine (Jo) S. Dixon of Yadkinville, 
North Carolina and Deland, Florida. We met while I was a 
police officer. She was a duty officer (dispatcher) for the 
department. Later on she was employed by the Florida Highway 
Patrol and retired from there in 1994. 

Children: She has three by a former marriage and I have four 
by former marriages. Together we have nine (9) grandchildren 
and one great grandchild. 

What have you been doing since May 1947?
Since May 1947 (Briefly): I followed the construction trades 
in and around Fort Myers until 1951 when I enlisted in the 
United States Marine Corps and served there until 1954.  I 
will always be proud that I had the privilege of being a 
United States Marine. Returned to the construction trades 
after my discharge.  It was a dismal, poverty stricken 
existence in those days so I switched to the selling game, 
crashed and burned, and I became a police officer. In doing 
so I found my calling and niche in life. Followed that 
calling until 1979 when being on the wrong side in a 
political war cost me my job. Started a contract painting and 
repair business and remained in that until 1991 except for a 
brief stint as a deputy sheriff for Lake County.  In 1991 
injuries from a fall ended my painting/repair career.  Worked 
part time after my recovery but currently just retired. Kind 
of a dull life, huh? Singular claim to fame? I am the only 
police officer in the entire history of the Deland Police 
Department and perhaps all of Volusia County Law Enforcement 
to disarm an honest to God, True life, live ticking bomb.

HIRAM L BALLARD
311 Asbury Road,  Winchester, VA 22602

What have you been doing since May 1947?
After discharge from the Army, I took summer classes at 
Edison College and was able to receive my diploma with the 
class of '47. I spent two and a half years at Stetson in 
Deland, then gave up on higher education and went to work in 
Fort Lauderdale, got married and moved to Pompano Beach.  Then 
I discovered the profession I loved and followed the rest of 
my working life -- fishing the coastline of Florida and The 
Bahamas.  First with my own boat taking parties fishing. I 
did this for fourteen years, then changed to becoming captain 
of boats owned by large corporations.  At this time I got 
married for a second time. I have three daughters and one 
son. My wife died in 1979. My eldest daughter lives in 
Boynton Beach, Florida and my other three children live in 
Virginia (Winchester, Front Royal and Chesapeake). I have six 
grandchildren, ages 1 to 23. Since 1989 my principal 
residence has been with my youngest daughter in Winchester, 
Virginia, but I spend some time with my daughter in Florida, 
and also with a friend in Indiana.    (As of April 1997) 


FRANCIS ANDREW BASSETT "FRANDY"
FRANK BASSETT, 36 CALLARY CRESCENT, COLLINGWOOD  ONTARIO,
L9Y 4Y1, CANADA (updated 2000)

5573 Boynton Lane, Ft Myers, FL 33907-2735 (Usually late 
November to Mid April, 1997 end of February to end of 
Reunion. Mail is forwarded each way.) 

Married: Marilyn Phyllis Kulow, School Teacher, July 10, 
1954, in Collingwood, Ontario. Deceased 2001 

Children: One daughter, Barbara Elizabeth, born Dec 12, 
1955.  Barbara is a cataloger with City of North York 
(Toronto) Public Library System (Master of Library Science). 
Married Kim Swend Jepson. No Children. 

What have you been doing since May 1947?
In 1947 I attended Thomas Alva Edison College at old 
Buckingham. Was on basketball team with Bull Collins, S. E. 
Poole, "Soup" Campbell, and Chris Stafford, which was a 
privilege.  We were beaten in Miami (Embry-Riddle), Tampa, and 
Ft Lauderdale, as well as home games. Edison College folded 
and didn't reopen the next fall. I helped a friend build a 
house at Ft Myers Beach, winter of '48/'49 and then drove up 
to Collingwood, Ontario where I was born.  My grandmother, 
with the help of a manager, had been running the family 
business since my father's death in 1936, so I lived with her 
and proceeded to learn the business. My grandfather had 
started the business in 1916. We were distributors of Shell 
Canada, and over the years it grew and prospered. Our daughter 
worked in the office a few summers but wasn't interested in 
carrying it on, so one morning I awakened and decided it 
wasn't fun anymore. Shell was in breach of our years long 
franchise, so we had them over a barrel.  They found and 
financed a buyer, and Marilyn and I retired in January 1981, 
when I was 52. 

We'd purchased a cottage at Ft Myers Beach in 1972, just 
around the corner from my mother and used it sporadically, but 
in retirement used it most winters. After my mother entered a 
nursing home, and we were getting sick of the traffic, we 
sold, and purchased a garden villa condo in Whiskey Creek, 
which we occupy most winters. Being very close to Edison 
College/USF, we enjoy taking in plays and concerts at Barbara 
B. Mann Hall and have taken advantage of courses available at 
the campus. One was "Money and Banking" at USF, which was most 
interesting and helped me in retirement. I was the oldest 
person in the class, including the Prof! 

Here in Collingwood we are 15 minutes from the local ski 
hills. Collingwood is known as the ski capital of Ontario, and 
we've enjoyed skiing.  Our daughter can't remember when she 
couldn't ski.  We live in a big old (104 years) house with 
three stories to look after. My father carried my mother over 
the threshold, and in 1954, I carried Marilyn over the same 
threshold. However, it's now a burden, and we're seeking 
something easier to maintain.

reunion and they have since moved to the address at the

EMMETT KELLY BITTICK
4807 W Sunset Blvd, Tampa, FL 33629

What have you been doing since May 1947?
From Ft Myers Senior High, I went to the University of Florida 
in Gainesville (Go Gators!!!) and received a BA by 1951. 
Barbara (Daniels) and I were married shortly thereafter in the 
First Presbyterian Church in for Myers.  Under God's grace, we 
have been blessed with two really wonderful children -- our 
son, Emmett K Bittick, Jr. (Kelly) and our daughter -- Barri 
Lynne Looke. And the blessings continued -- Barri and her 
husband, Tom, brought into our lives grandsons Daniel and 
Jonathan and granddaughter Kelly Alexandra Victoria (Ali, for 
short.) Kelly and wife Tricia, further blessed us with 
grandsons Holland and Kennon. 

For the next 23 years after our marriage, the U.S. Army had a 
definite say in my goings and comings, starting with an 18-mo. 
tour in Korea. I fulfilled assignments in the states of 
Virginia, New York, Massachusetts, Georgia, Kansas, Ohio, 
Washington, and yes, even Florida. Interspersed with these 
assignments were various military schools and a civilian 
Master's Degree from Ohio State University. I also had tours 
in Europe and Viet Nam. 

In 1975, I retired from the Army in the rank of Colonel and 
began civilian life in Tampa, Florida. Tampa was our choice 
for retirement in part so that Kelly and Barri could attend 
colleges in that area. (Kelly went to Harvard and Barri went 
to Mercer -- so much for that plan!) 

Barbara and I stay busier than we had planned to be at this 
stage of our marriage -- we golf (Barbara more than I), go to 
country linedance classes (that is really fun and the best 
exercise!!!), a limited number of club activities, and I 
continue my second career as a Real Estate Broker.  More 
important than all of this is the joy of witnessing the 
Christian development of our children with our "grands", for 
we have never lost sight of our Christian principles. 

In closing, we trust that all of you have been blessed as we 
have been, and that you have accepted the wonderful gift of 
salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. God Bless all of you!

After being discharged, I returned home and finished my high 
school credits and got my AA degree at Edison Community 
College. I thought I wanted to be a veterinarian, but a summer 
job with Dr Plummer changed my mind. About that time I married 
Janice Weeks and went into the construction business.  We were 
divorced in September, 1957. I sold my construction equipment 
and bummed around for a couple of years. 

Went to work for Snag Thompson as a Special Deputy. Still 
worked in construction as a crane operator. I got married 
again and we had two kids, Susan Rebecca and Fred Allen.  That 
marriage lasted about ten years. 

In 1968 I went into law enforcement full-time. I worked for 
Snag for several years.  Then I went to work for Doug Hendry 
in Collier County. Aubrey Rogers was his Chief Deputy. I was 
assigned to the Immokalee Substation working there for Aubrey 
until October 1, 1989 when I retired as District Commander. I 
enjoyed every minute of my career as a law enforcement officer. 

I retired in 1989 and accepted a security job with the Collier 
family property. I enjoy my job, being outdoors and enjoying 
nature. I do some wild life photography and I've caught a few 
poachers and rustlers.         (As of April 1997)

What have you been doing since May 1947?
In 1948 I moved to Indiana to take over the family farms. Both 
our children were born there. However, once or twice a year 
trips back to Florida were just not enough, so in late 1959 we 
moved back to Florida (Sarasota), where I involved myself in 
Auto and Motorcycle Parts, filling my leisure time with golf, 
motorcycles, and restoring antique autos. In 1990, I retired, 
and in 1992 we sold out in Sarasota, moved over to the 
Heartland of Florida, out of the fast-lane and into the peace 
and quiet of the "old Florida" that I knew growing up here.  
21 Palms abuts the south side of Disney property, and with 
Annual Passes we spend many happy hours there (just kids 
again). We celebrated our fiftieth Wedding Anniversary 
recently, and especially treasure receiving congratulations 
from the White House, both President and First Lady. It was 
the highlight of the day. 

Still play golf, ride my motorcycles, and grow flowers and 
vegetables to fill my spare time. All in all, IT'S BEEN A 
GREAT LIFE!  (As of April 1997)

enjoyed. I went from the old manual typewriter to the electric 
and when I mastered that, I had to learn computers. Took a 
little time off to raise my three children and then went back 
to teaching in 1979. After being out of the school system for 
15 years, it was a whole different ball game when I went back. 
But happy to say I made the adjustment with no problems. I was 
"hell bent" on having the same discipline I always had. I also 
went from being a GREENIE to being a RED KNIGHT.

following that.  During this time I thought there might become 
the need for another line of work, so I took a real estate 
course through the University of Florida and ultimately earned 
a broker license. I spent two years in the Army during the 
Korean conflict, after which I married and started our family.  
We have always lived in Fort Myers and are now living on 40 
acres in North Fort Myers and spending our summers at our 
summer cottage in Cullowhee, NC, in the Smokey Mountains. 

Would enjoy hearing from anyone and hope to see you all at the 
reunion.                                         (As of April 1997)

tel: 813-397-3312

On August 15, 1947 I was officially received into the Religious
Community known as Allegany (NY) Franciscans. After two years of
training I was missioned back to Florida for teaching in our Catholic
Schools.  My thirty years of teaching embraced Primary, Junior High
and Senior High. All but two of these years were spent in Florida.
I was nine years at Corpus Christi School in Miami, nine years at
Central Catholic High in Melbourne, and seven years at Bishop Verot
High in Ft Myers. In High School my major field was Home Economics.
I also taught English and Religious Studies. At Bishop Verot I was
also yearbook Advisor.

In 1980 I changed work to Pastoral Ministry. After several years at
St Cecilia's in Ft Myers, I moved to the Tampa Bay area. For the last
ten years I have been at St Justin, Martyr in Largo, serving as 
Pastoral Assistant.

During my 50 years as a Religious I have been a partner in founding
two new institutions, a pioneer: Central Catholic High in Melbourne
and St Justin, Martyr Paris in Largo. In 1968 our Religious Community
opted to adapt our dress to modern times.  In 1994 I was blessed with
the opportunity to travel to Italy, visiting Rome, Assisi (the 
birthplace of St Francis, our community patron), and Sienna.

In April of this year I will celebrate with great joy my fifty
years of Religious Profession.                   (As of April 1997)

There are also three other children that live at home, Rowdy,

retriever, and Max the cat. 

What have you been doing since May 1947?
U.S. Navy, Aviation Photographers Mate, CAC. Fighter Squadron 
11, Air Base Group One. University of Florida - Graduated BSBA 
in 1956.  Went into the corporate world upon graduation and 
lived in Jacksonville, FL*, Atlanta, GA*, Shreveport, LA, 
Mobile, AL, St Augustine, FL*, Thomaston, GA, Memphis, TN, 
Lakeland, FL, Lafayette, LA, Johnson City, TN (* more than two 
times) 

We moved back to Fort Myers in 1987, from Lakeland. I have a 
Doctor friend who had nothing to do, so he installed four by-
passes for my birthday in 1991. I retired in 1992 as a Senior 
Consultant with a business management consultant company. 

Probably, my most time consuming hobby is politics on the 
national scene. I spend a great deal of time watching the 
Congress and trying to analyze what they are doing as opposed 
to what they should be doing. 

I still like to fish, when I get the opportunity, and I do 
some shooting on the range; I also reload for my 30.06, .44 
Mag., and .38 Spec. 

Marilyn is Lead Tech in the Cardiac Cath Lab at Lee Memorial 
Healthpark, and she is taking classes at Edison, waiting for 
Gulf Coast University to open. When she has time, she loves to 
cook and sew... pretty nice for me. 


DOROTHY JEAN LEWIS (MORRIS)
Route 1, Box 536A2 Rabun Gap, GA 30568
tel: 706-746-7482

Married: Robert E. "Bob" Morris and I were married March 19, 1950.

Children: We had four children. Cathy Jean, William Wayne, 
Paul Matthew and Robert E. Morris, Jr. (deceased), and now 
have four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. 

What have you been doing since May 1947?
Mostly, since 1947, I've been raising kids, but I also worked 
as a bank bookkeeper, clerked for State Farm Insurance, and 
was a Plant City Police and Fire Dispatcher. I helped clear 
twenty acres in Plant City, where I learned many skills, to-
wit: fencing, calf feeding, stump pulling, butter making, 
gardening, etc. I was wise enough to get out of milking our 
cow. My volunteer work included Garden Club, anti-litter 
control, retarded children, Church, Boy Scouts, and I am now 
working with Hospice Rabun patients. 

We moved from Fort Myers to Atlanta, Jacksonville, Plant City, 
Oklahoma City (where Bob taught Air Traffic Control), back to 
Plant City, and finally to our mountainside retreat in the 
North Georgia mountains.                    (As of April 1997) 


MARY MACON (BRANNON)
PO Box 412, Seffner, FL 33583

Married: 49 years to Oliver Fletcher Brannon.
50 years 31st of May 1997

Children: 2 sons, 2 daughters, all married, 6 grandchildren

What have you been doing since May 1947?
Fifty years have slipped by so quickly and as always we would 
certainly do some things differently, but when you marry as a 
teenager, you live and learn, hopefully.  We lived in Fort 
Myers for 18 months, Tampa, several years, and Seffner around 
40 years. Fletcher was in sales for 44 years and was a natural 
in this vocation and he still is. We both like to buy and sell 
and we make great partners.  We have close to 14 acres and a 
few cows now, which makes a great view. 

We've been through some difficult times and could've grown 
bitter if it hadn't been for our trust in the Lord Jesus 
Christ. As a result of that trust in Him and His grace, we re 
better and all glory goes to him. I can honestly say "the end 
is better than the beginning". 

This may not sound like an exciting life, but believe me it 
has been. Raising four children and we are all still sane is a 
miracle. Caring for our parents for ten years each and an aunt 
who also died of cancer was certainly a challenge. Through it 
all we learned many valuable lessons of which we are so 
grateful. 

In 1993 we took four months of short trips and saw many areas 
we had always wanted to visit. We may do it again. 

Of course we are in retirement now and never a dull moment. 
Retirement for us is not sitting around doing nothing. We both 
like to play golf, go antiquing, and we have been real busy 
helping renovate our church building. At home we often say to 
one another, "it's just you and me, babe," and we love it and 
we're having a good time, and I must say we are very thankful.

company, flower farming, insurance, municipality, chemical 
plant, banking. Positions held varied from billing clerk to 
office manager, legal secretary/executive secretary/executive 
assistant and corporate officer. I retired the end of 1994 and

Since graduation I have lived in Polk County, Florida, and 
Laurel and Vicksburg, Mississippi. I returned to Fort Myers in 
1977. 

Jean Lewis Morris and I were close friends in school and 
remained close through the years. She was "Aunt Jean" to my

sisters-in-law; Jean is married to Buck's brother Bob.

we were in school?!!!

I met Ben at Stetson and we were married Jan 1951. He began 
working on the sports or copy desk of a string of newspapers in 
LA, MS, OK, AL and MO.  Had three children by 1957. I mostly held 
the house together and packed and unpacked. In 1959 moved to

Evening Post". In 1962, we moved to Stamford CT when the Post 
moved to NYC. We had moved 16 times in 11 years. We stayed in CT 
for 15 years during which Ben switched to the "New York Times 
Magazine", started his own magazine, "Dominion", which had an 18-
month life, and moved to "Guideposts" as managing editor in 1967. 
We had another child in 1966 and adopted a fifth in 1970.  In 
1977 we left the professional world and moved to Denton TX and U 
of North Texas, where Ben tried college teaching and got a 
Master's at East Texas State.  

In 1980 moved to Gainesville and the UF College of Journalism 
where he was the magazine expert and taught feature writing until 
retirement in Jan 1996. My biggest accomplishments were guiding 
the kid's development, heavy do-it-yourself work on four other 
houses and being deeply involved in and charter members of four 
SBC churches in PA, CT and TX. I have done some free lance 
writing. We saw many different parts of the country and found

Married: Phoebe Lamb (FMHS 1950)

Children: We have three children, Michael, Daniel and Thea, who 
amongst them have acquired five degrees in Physics and one MSEE.
Our older son, Michael, spent ten years in the CIA where he 
worked in 39 countries.  While in the CIA, he met his wife, who
was also an agent and who worked in 27 different countries. They
recently got out and are making their home in Melbourne, where my
son has gone into business for himself and our daughter-in-law is

engineer in the space shuttle program and makes his home with his
lady companion in Merritt Island.  Our daughter was teaching 
Physics at Hillsborough Junior College and now works in the 
computer department of another campus.

What have you been doing since May 1947?
After graduation and for the better part of the summer I worked 
for Mr. L. E. Goodman at his Palm City Block and Tile Co. in Fort 
Myers, stacking concrete blocks for eight hours a day in the 
Florida summer sun. This had the effect of putting me in the best
physical condition I have ever been in my life and since then 
nothing else I have done physically has seemed particularly 
difficult.  Then I attended Xavier Univ in Cincinnati, OH for
a year and a half and the Univ of Fla for two and a half years.

By that time the Korean "police action" had begun and I had an
ROTC commission and enough of academic life. I decided to go see 
what war was.  I had an academic deferment because I was in a 
5-year course (Architecture), but all my friends were going so I
figured I might as well go too. I almost found out, but wound up
spending most of my overseas time on Okinawa.  Then I attended a
Chemical, Biological and Radiological Warfare course at the 
former Japanese Imperial Naval Academy at Ie Shima, Japan. When
I got back to the states I reported to Fort Jackson for 
separation.  I met Glenn and Linnie Cary there. Was beginning
to feel like I was at home.

After being out for 3 years, during which I worked for an 
architect in Ft Myers and Tallahassee, and for Carl Johnson in
Ft Myers, I went back into the Army.  This time I attended the
US Army Language School at Monterey, California where I learned
to speak, read and write Russian for Army Intelligence. After
three years I got out and lived in DC, NYC and Cincinnati before
returning to Ft Myers.  There I met Phoebe Lamb. We were married
and have made our home in Tampa. Since living here I have worked 
for the Hillsborough County Planning Commission and Juvenile 
Home, taught school, worked for Alderman Transport, and for the
past 18 years for Tampa Independent Dairy Farmers Association.
